| 摘要 |
The present invention discloses, inter alia, a sensor that is adapted to be either one of fluorescing or phosphorescing. In embodiments of the invention, the sensor may include a zero-order diffractive filter for polarised or unpolarised polychromatic light, wherein the zero-order diffractive filter may include: a medium (12) having a low index of refraction n low ; and a waveguiding layer (11) having a high index of refraction n high . In embodiments of the invention, the medium (12) and the waveguiding layer (11) may be arranged such to form a grating line (10) being a microstructure (1). The grating lines (10) may have a period length A that is smaller than the wavelength of light for which the filter is designed. The sensor may further include an interface (13,14) between the low refraction index medium (12) and the waveguiding layer (11), whereby the interface (13,14) may constitute a nanostructure (2). At least some of the nanostructure (2) may implemented by either one of a fluorescing and phosphorescing material (3). Additional and alternative embodiments are specified and claimed. |
